TOY PALPITATING HEART Application filed April A, 1929. Serial No. 352,513.

This invention relates to a novelty, plaything or toy.

The principal object of the invention is the provision of a device of the indicated character of novel construction which may be used in different ways to simulate the action of a palpitating heart, for the purpose of surprising or amusing onlookers.

The nature of the invention and its dis- 1o tinguishing features and advantages will appear when the following specification is read in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure 1 is an elevation of the device, portion of the tube being broken away.

Fig. 2 is a side View of the heart shaped element and a portion of the pneumatic tube.

Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.

Referring now more particularly to the drawings, it will be apparent that, the device comprises a heart shaped element 10 adapted to be caused to palpitate, by pneumatic means 11 which is connected with the element 10.

The element 10 may be made from different materials in order to attain the result looked for. In the present instance the element 10 includes a hollow body, envelope or covering 12 of elastic material such as rubber or close ly knitted textile material. The body or the like 12 is stuffed with suitable soft material such as cotton batting 18. The body or the like 12 is of heart shape. A semi-rigid member 14 is attached to the body or the like 12 at the rear, and said member may consist of i a piece of cardboard or like material provided with attaching lugs 15. The body or the like 12 thus constructed is adapted to be caused to palpitate.

The pneumatic means 11 which serves for causing the element 10 to palpitate includes. an inflatable and deflatable elastic body, or rubber ball 16 which is embedded in the stuffing 13. A rubber tube 17 of any preferred length has one end thereof extending through the member 1A and the back portion of the body or the like 12 and is connected with the ball 16 in communication with the inteto rior of the latter. A vented elastic or rubber bulb 18 is connected with the end of the tube 17 remote from that connected with the ball 16, and said bulb may be manipulated to inflate and deflate the ball 16 which will cause movement of the stufl'lng surrounding the ball 16 and movement of the body or the like 12 to simulate the palpitating action of the heart.

in use, the element 10 may be secured to a garment of a person by pins passed through the lugs 15, and the tube may be passed through the sleeve of the garment, while the bulb 18 may beheld in the hand which may be inserted in a pocket or other suitable place, so that the tube and bulb are entirely concealed. A person examining the element 10 may be surprised and also amused by seeing the element 1O palpitate, which will be accomplished by manipulating the bulb 18, as will be understood.

I claim:

1. A novelty comprising an elastic heart shaped element having soft stuihng therein, an inflatable and defiatable elastic body embedded in said stuifing, a length of tube connected at one end with said body, and a vented elastic bulb connected with the end of said tube remote from said body, for the purpose specified.

2. A novelty comprising a heart shaped hollow element tion; a semi-rigid attaching member at the rear of said elastic section, said element having a soft stuffing therein, an inflatable and defiatable elastic body embedded in said stuffing, a length of tube extending through said rear section and connected with said body; and a vented elastic bulb connected with said tube, for the purpose specified.

Signed at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, this 18th day of December, A. D. 1928.
